The Collin Health Care Foundation meeting held on September 22, 2025, addressed several key issues, primarily focusing on a recent flooding incident that impacted the facility.
The meeting began with a brief acknowledgment of the flooding situation, as Mr. Shoffner reported significant water accumulation on the roof due to a malfunctioning drainage system. He explained that internal pipes had become clogged, leading to standing water that reached heights of 2 to 3 feet. This pressure ultimately caused one of the drain pipes to burst, resulting in substantial water intrusion into the building, particularly near the purchasing department.
Assistant Purchasing Agent Marcy Chrisman confirmed that the flooding was linked to a buy board contract, which was valued at $67,522. This financial detail was shared to provide context for the ongoing recovery efforts.
Mr. Shoffner commended the swift response of the staff, noting that many employees had already begun moving boxes and materials to mitigate damage by the time he arrived on the scene. He expressed gratitude towards the facilities team, the tax office, and the purchasing office for their prompt action in addressing the flooding. Their efforts were recognized as crucial in managing the situation effectively.
The meeting concluded with a focus on recovery and the importance of addressing the drainage issues to prevent future incidents. The collaborative response from various teams highlighted the organization's commitment to maintaining a safe and functional environment for its employees and operations.
